This dissertation explores the musical relationship between these two troubled countries and aims to explain the similarities and differences in their approaches to collective singing. The discussion of the very complex and problematic relationship between the German left and the Soviet government sets the framework for the analysis of music. Beginning in late 1920s, as a result of Stalin’s abandonment of the international revolutionary cause, the divergences between the policies of the Soviet government and utopian aims of the German communist party can be traced in the musical propaganda of both countries.

  • The Independent
    “The Quartet’s immaculate musicianship shines like an illuminated manuscript” - The Independent "Mozart, Chopin and Bizet as you’ve never heard them before – classical music become theatre." - The Scotsman "Unveiling all the potential of their instruments, using their innate musical instincts, these Musicians perform in such a way that the heavens seem to open up before you." - Leidsch Dagblad "Love, hatred, irony, more philosophical feelings, all of these are mixed in Russian music, it’s very spiritual!" - The Independent All these quotes from the Russian and foreign press are dedicated to a single ensemble – St.Petersburg’s Terem Quartet. A pioneer ensemble, a trailblazer, the world’s first composer- ensemble, the Terem Quartet will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2016! Much of what the Terem Quartet has accomplished over its 30-year history was never done before. The Terem Quartet was the first Russian ensemble, together with the PoKrovsKy Ensemble, to perform for a foreign audience at Peter Gabriel’s world-famous WOMAD festival. The Terem Quartet was the first Russian folK instrument ensemble to win the hearts of Russian Philharmonic halls. [email protected] The Terem Quartet was the first ensemble bacK in the 1980s that tried to combine what seemed at that time unimaginable – academic music, folK and rocK, thus creating its own “Folk-RocK-Fantasy”. The Terem Quartet became the first ensemble to combine music on folK instruments with symphonic music through its ambitious “MasKed Ball” program with a symphonic orchestra. Artists Management The Terem Quartet was a pioneer of the Russian crossover-style: a style born at the intersection of unique crossroads of the times.
